Normal and retrograde blood supply to the body of the mandible in the dog. I. A new method for selective multicolor arterial perfusion, combined with microangiography and histology.
An experimental study was performed to evaluate a method for selective, multicolor arterial perfusion. In seven adult beagle dogs the lingual, facial and mandibular arteries on one side were cannulated and perfused selectively with different colored perfusates (Microfil and Colorpaque). Identification of the perfusates was achieved using a clearing technique combined with microradiography and histology. With this method, the vascular territories of the body of the mandible and its adjacent tissue could then be identified separately.
